I noticed that some laptop is almost 400 Euro cheaper when bought from a German on.line store than from a Finnish one. If the Windows 7 is German, will I get problems with a Finnish Office version? Long time ago I installed a German Word over a Finnish Win98, and it was a mess. Perhaps things have changed?

Please share your opinion/experiences.
Regards
Heinrich

Edited to say that I've just remembered that I installed a Spanish Office on an English Windows about 10 years ago and, you're right, the machine got quite confused. I think I ended up having to reformat the whole machine.
